"I'm sure that no matter how much you think about it, you won't find any opportunity for me to get benefits. If we work together, it will not violate your duty as the guard of the Lonely Mountain at all. If you want to ask me about my purpose, I will sincerely I tell you sincerely, because I am the person who hates sealed beasts the most in the world. But I think you, as a person, have never cared about other people’s goals, nor do you care who is your enemy or your friend."

For a moment, time suddenly slowed down, as if it had lost its original flow speed.Even though he couldn't see the true face of the clownfish, Du Zhengyi still felt the clownfish mocking him slightly, as if the whole situation was under his control, as if he knew the secret of time, he couldn't help but mock Du Zhengyi, and also Mocking himself and the entire magical world.Du Zhengyi's thinking and everything Du Zhengyi worked hard for were nothingness in his eyes, maybe even the entire magical world was nothingness.

He urged Du Zhengyi with ease, and he was as calm as if he was sure of the direction of things.

Du Zhengyi wanted to get rid of this invisible control. He had been bound to a macroscopic cause and effect all his life, but in the microscopic and concrete life, he never liked to be controlled.Just after the clownfish spoke seductively again, he turned around and looked at the blurry figure, "What's the reason why you can't show your true face? There are only you and me here. Do I know you?"

The figure shook slightly, and just when he was about to speak, Du Zhengyi interrupted him again, "Why do you hate sealed beasts?"

The clownfish still didn't answer. Du Zhengyi seemed to be able to see thoughts running rapidly in his mind, deducing how Du Zhengyi's reaction would be derived from his several responses.He knew himself, there was no doubt about it.Maybe the mind master understands everyone, maybe he... just understands himself exceptionally well. Anyway, as long as you let him speak, he will still lead you in circles.

Du Zhengyi wanted to make everything happen.

"Why did the sealed beast kill your wife?"

He skipped one question and asked the next question directly. The clownfish, who was thinking too much, had no time to follow his question, and the answer became the default correct answer.

Du Zheng faced the clownfish and looked directly into his eyes in the blurred shadows, "She is a human being who cannot protect herself. Didn't you protect her?"

The clownfish looked at Du Zhengyi quietly, as if he had lost all desire to speak, and the soul of the gloomy and painful man they had met several times had returned.

"Who released the sealed beast?" Du Zhengyi suddenly asked.

The clownfish breathed softly and looked at Du Zhengyi without any obstruction, "It's the mage."

"So you hate all mages?" Du Zhengyi said. He was furious for a moment, but suddenly he hesitated, "Is it because I didn't complete the work? Is it because I never had the chance to complete it, or... …I didn’t have time to finish…”

"It has nothing to do with you." The clownfish suddenly said unbearably.

"But if you...why don't you go find her?"

"Because you can't step into the same river twice." The clownfish said coldly.

"What do you mean?" Du Zhengyi asked, "Don't be a Riddler."

"How could she fall in love with a middle-aged man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life? She does not belong to me now, and my real wife has passed away long ago." The clown fish whispered.

Du Zhengyi was silent for a while, suppressing all the chaotic emotions back to the origin of the emotional coordinates. "I don't know how you found the way here, and I don't want to know things that I shouldn't know. I just want to know what you really want now? Isn't it to find your lost lover? You don't want to Tell me that you are protecting her in advance to eradicate all the sealed beasts."

The clownfish laughed, "Can't I be a good person and only have this kind goal?"

"Who killed her with the sealed beast?" Du Zhengyi asked again.

"No one." The clown fish lowered his head and shook his head. "No one specifically wants to kill her. She is just an ordinary woman and is not harmful to anyone. Oh, your expression, no, it's not what you guessed. That girl, you’ve never met her, she’s a complete outsider.”

After hesitating for a moment, the clownfish suddenly started talking, "She is a human being who draws pictures. She is very spiritual, almost like half a mind mage. She seems to know what I am thinking with just her eyes. That is really... It was a wonderful feeling. She was very kind. I fell down because my legs and feet were not good, so she came over to help me. I invited her to drink a cup of milk tea, and that’s how we got to know each other.”

"Did you fall on purpose?" Du Zhengyi suddenly asked.

The clownfish laughed, and then the smile faded, "I was very lonely at the time, and she just appeared in my life, like the only light."

"My condolences." Du Zhengyi said after a while.

The clownfish smiled.

"Have you ever thought that she might be because..." Du Zhengyi stopped talking. "Have you ever thought that she died because of me? No, it was not a targeted assassination. Because it was a massacre, and too many people died, not just her." Clown Fish said.

"It's the Lotus Burner." Du Zhengyi suddenly understood, but suddenly he didn't understand, "Your wife was killed by the Lotus Burner, and now you are hanging out with the Lotus Burner?"

The clownfish stared at Du Zhengyi, "Have you ever imagined the scene of all the sealed places being opened at the same time? The world is a hell! She was torn to pieces, eaten, and her internal organs were ripped out everywhere... When I rushed home, everything was too late. It was the mages who created the sealed place, and the mages were in charge of the sealed place. As for which mages directly created hell, does it make any difference? All mages deserve to die."

"I'm sorry." Du Zhengyi whispered.

"Why are you saying sorry to me? You are about to die. It was me who did it. Have you forgotten? All mages deserve to die, but you are not included."

"My duty is to find the sealed places and close them one by one." Du Zhengyi said.

"Oh." The clownfish laughed, "It's Du's duty. But do you really not know where all the sealed places are? I mean, even if you don't know the specific locations of all the sealed places, at least I also know a large part of it. After thousands of years, why haven’t your family finished sealing the land? Why? Because the venerables can never reach an agreement, because the mages are always afraid that humans will backlash, and always want to use convenient weapons Holding it in their hands, the mages are getting weaker day by day, but they cannot accept this reality. Because they are too afraid, they even exterminated your clan."

"The plague hit my family hard," Du Zhengyi said.After he finished speaking, he felt the smell of disappointment pushing unconsciously from the direction of the clown fish, and an unspeakable bitterness and suffocation spread in his chest.

"Du Zhengyi, you...you only focus on what you can do, and don't take things seriously about what you can't do. You are the most responsible person in the world, but you never worry about things you cannot be responsible for." said the clownfish.

“How can a man do what he cannot do?”

"People can use magic to do things they can't do." Clownfish said, "But you can't, because you can, so you are bound and can't."

"Ouroboros." Du Zheng said coldly.

The clownfish looked at him silently.

"The Ouroboros is your emblem, right? Luo Qi... told me about the meaning of the Ouroboros. At that time we just discovered this emblem. The Lotus Burners don't use this symbol, so at that time I was thinking that in the magical world, besides Joan In addition to Lin and the Lotus Burner, a third force seems to have appeared. You should be the creator of Ouroboros, and your people have penetrated into the Lotus Burner and Qiong Lin, right? Speaking of Ouroboros, I may be In the self-circulation of Ouroboros, maybe in the Möbius strip, I don't know, not sure. But are you there too?" Du Zhengyi said.

"Du Zhengyi, when did you find me..." the clownfish asked halfway, and the second half of his words seemed to be burning his tongue.

"You have told many lies, true and false, more false than true, but I didn't believe too many. I have always been very concerned about why when I stepped into the Guan family courtyard and fell into the illusion, what I saw was the Luo Qi of tomorrow. . I asked you, and you replied that it was because I was concerned, so I had the hallucination. But Roach in the hallucination was too profound. With how well I knew him at the time, I shouldn't have seen such a person in my hallucination. Roach is so full of real personality. I have always cared about this matter. Until recently, Roach began to copy part of his consciousness, just like copying fragments of his soul. He also gave copies of his soul to girls without any care. Make an amulet. At this time, I suddenly thought that I had encountered a copy of Roach's soul. If one day in the future Roach becomes even crazier, starts to copy a more complete soul of himself, and uses the copy of his soul as a slave. Using tools, is that the mechanism for making traps in Guan's yard?" Du Zhengyi stared at the erratic figure, "Are you crazy?"

In this dangerous situation, they remained dangerously silent, and the clownfish's shadow remained erratic.

"I want to ask again, why are you called clownfish?" Du Zhengyi said. "Do you think you're a clown?"

"No, because I...can't find this person, and the clownfish's name happens to be Nemo." The clownfish said.

"What do you mean?" Du Zhengyi asked.

The clownfish laughed, "You can ask Roach, he will definitely know the answer."

Du Zhengyi knew that if the clownfish wanted to attack him at this moment, it might easily break his shield and pry open his brain.He had never been so disturbed and shattered.

"I also want to ask the last question today." Du Zhengyi heard himself say.

"Now that it's over, ask." the clownfish said.

"When did your leg become lame?" Du Zhengyi asked.

"After you die."
